On Saturday Mary Ogden, or Mollie
Henderson, made affidavit before Squire
W. II. Davis, charging Frank Freds with
aiding and abettins in q ielonious assault
upon her peraon. Freds was arrested by
Chief Of Police Smith, arraigned before
the Justice, and by him committed 10 the
county jail without bail, the statute leav.
ing him no option in the matter. Yester-
day. Denis O'Keefe, 40 Freds' attorney,
attempted 10 have him released on his |
own recoRnizance, but failing, said he
would sue out writ Of habeas corpus.
The circumstance which led to Franks
arrest was q remark he made to Sheriff
Handlan, who asked him about the occur
rencos reported in Saturdays 1NrRLLIaES.
GER. He responded that If he was arrested
he "would squeal on the party" Tho
woman was therefore sent for, aud made
the affidavit. 6,. H1}a
Freds persstently denied any knowledge
| Of the mans name whom he introduced
to Miss Ogden Thursday night, until alter
his arrest, when he named him and a
warrant was issued for his arrest, but he
was discovered to have loft town. Freds'
hearing is set for next Saturday.
| O& AS USUAL.
The Register yesterday rushed 10 the de.
Tense Of Officer Stephens. It attempted to
weaken the publication in Saturdays In.
rgLLl0ENcEa by pretending to quote from
1t charges 1t did not contain, and then
denying these charges. The article did
not loaye the inference that the woman
was taken into Gavin's saloon. On the
contrary 1t said in 30 many words:
HE took her to Pat Gayin's saloon, on
tho corner OF Market and Twenty.third
streets, opening large door which she
isupposed to lead into the saloon, but
which was really the door OF Warden's
livery stable" aa
No intelligent man will see any redec-
ton on Mr.. Gavin or bis place in these
words; none WAS intended. Neither was
the inference reasonable from the article
that any beer was obtained there or at
any other saloon.
The Register says: "Chiet Smith was
very indignant yesterday. at the malicious
attack OF the 1NTELLrdEscER upon his
force. :. He said 1t WAS one Of the dirtieet
things yet perpetrated by that paper"
INTERVIEW WITH THE CHIEF. Il
An ISTELLlGENcER reporter last even.
ing called on Captain Smith at the City
Building, and remarked:
j Captain, the Register quotes you as
speaking OF the 1NrELLlGENoER's article
on the Ogden woman's story as mali
cious attack on your force and 'one OF
the dirtiest things 1t has yet perpetrated.'
Will you kindly point out what state.
ment in the article justifss those words? ?"
II don't think / said that" said the
Chief. 81
ado you know you did not say it?p
eyes; think I didn't use the language
he quotes there"
"Did you cay substantially what he
quotes?'
II referred to the editorial"
"Well, what portion Of the editorial is
dirty attack on your force ?"
"Why, there is sor3a:hing there calling
on every policeman to ferret out the guilty
man." 5aa zftE4
eyes, sir; the editorial concludes: 1t
, concerns every innocent man on the police
force to try TO get ut the truth of this
scandal on the whole force.' Do you
think that dirty attack?"
youcuEb FOB TIE sroRy.
ooh, there is something there about
brass buttons." s.,af
Yes; the editorial says the woman
says she noticed some brass buttons in
the crowd. Now what the people will
want 10 know is, whose brass buttons they
WERE Is that dirty attack on the
force? ?" =' 81 a;.. b
"That seems to intimate that the story
, Of that woman ie to be taken in preference
to that OF a policeman; and wouldn't be-
lieve ono Of the race uElesa knew what
, she said to DO true. Bsaidos, ahe is pros
tituts."
"Captain, you told me Friday, did you
not, that you thought the woman's story
seemed very plausible ?" 80. ~
II did. And it did seem 3d."
"And on that statement Of yours as
much es any one thing went to zee the
: woman and get her story straight. She
| told it Just as heard 1t before, Just as I
supposed she told it when it impreeaed
you as very plausible.' She said she
would die aud go to judgment believing
there was a policeman in thst crowd'."'
III q woman told me that I would not
believe her. She is lying, c. d.
